SUNSHADE.

'EPTLCFICATION forming part of Letters Patent'No. 320,568, dated June 23, 1885.

Application filed December 5, 1584. (No model.)

o all whom it 'nto/,y concern.-

Beit known that I, ANDREW LYON, of Malden, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Sunshades, of which the following is aspecilication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a lengthwise section illustrating a sunshade with my improvement, and Fig. 2 is a side view. Fig. 3 illustrates the upper part of the handle detached.

My invention relates to that class of sunshades which are provided with a joint in the handle, commonly above the spring or catch by which the frame is held extended; and it consists in a novel construction of that joint. (Clearly shown in the drawings.)

A represents the main handle, which is ot` any usual construction.

B is the upperhandle. and C the frame. Upon the end of the main handle is the tip a, which is slotted, as shown. The upper handle, B, is tubular to prevent undue weight, and is liattened, as shown in Fig. 3, (which is a side and edge View of B detached,) the flattened .portion entering the slot in the tip a.. These parts are held together by the pin b and form the joint in the handle by which the frame is tipped, as shown in Fig. 2.

The sleeve b is as usual in this class of sunshades, as are also the other parts shown, the novelty of my invention residing in the conibination of the upper handle, B, with its tlattened end, and the main handle A, with its forked tip a, with the other parts `necessary to forni a sunshade.

In all other sunshades of this class known to me the upper handle, B, and the main handle A have been jointed together by a link of sheet metal, the adjoining ends of both handles being` slotted to receive the ilat link. My device is I'ar superior, and also less expensive. Y

That l claim as my invention is In a sunshade, the upper handle, B, flattened at one end, and combined with the main handle A by a tip, a, and pin b, substantially as setforth.

AN DREW LYON.
